Part 2e: Breastfeeding--Our freezer is back to normal

AL was 1 year and 3 months on last 20 October 2009. She was and is still 100% on breastmilk. Mummy was clearing the stock in the freezer. As on 26 Oct 2009, the balance breastmilk in the freezer was 60.5oz. This was a big decrease as compared to last time where Mummy needed more than one freezer to keep the breastmilk.

Mummy had only pumped once in a day after work at home. Some times, if there was any urgent appointment to rush, Mummy would not pump for the whole day. Mummy still fed AL directly every night and also weekend full day. Mummy was surprised that Mummy managed to breastfeed her for full day even though Mummy only pumped once during weekdays. When Mummy going to stop pumping and stop breastfeeding? Hmmm… this would be hard to judge but it would be soon… Mummy’s once a day pumping on weekday with average about 6-8 oz. At times when the supply was good, Mummy would be able to pump out 10-12 oz which was quite rare nowadays.

Once Mummy stopped breastfeeding, Mummy hoped Mummy would not need any apidexin to avoid weight gain because Mummy had not been controlling Mummy’s diet intake since Mummy got pregnant with AL till now.

At last we got back our freezer where on 13 Oct 2009, Mummy managed to move all the frozen breastmilk from the big to the small compartment. As for today, the number of frozen breastmilk had decreased significantly. Mummy would freeze the breastmilk using bottles instead of storage bags since there was space in the freezer. We managed to survive without having to spend money buying a freezer and also we did not know where to put the freezer if we had bought one then.
